Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 I hate to even bring up the topic since it might start another paranoid chain, but I didn't know what ABA stood for, so I didn't really know how to look it up anywhere else. It may be a moot point since we live in a rather rural area, but I was just curious about it. My son currently only receives 1 hour of speech therapy through the school system but was receiving occupational, speech, developmental, and behavioral therapies before his third birthday. Is it a philosophy that other therapist might incorporate in their work, or is it a specific type of therapy requiring a trained therapist, and if so, what areas does it cover? Even just knowing what the initials stood for might help me find out some information! Thanks! ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
